  • “Women’s movements in India have addressed violence against women through multiple strategies such as protests, media advocacy and casework. ‘Take back the night’, safe city campaigns and Blank Noise are all examples of such efforts. On the issue of SlutWalk, however, there was ambiguity. “-415

  • “Who knows, dismissive remarks like these may have played a role in furtherimpacting the ‘political and intellectual commitments’ of the group of young women who organized and participated in the Walk. At the same time, we should reflect on the nature of other campaigns having an ‘urban’ (even ‘elite’ base). These are campaigns as well. Focusing on specific issues concerning women living in cities does not imply that their politics are diluted. The United Nations-led Safer Cities Programme launched in New Delhi in 2010 is supported by Indian feminist organizations (UN-HABITAT 2010). Take Back the Night marches, with strong international antecedents, have been effective (Sharma 2011) and also been a source of inspiration for the organic (and widespread) Blank Noise project in India (Blank Noise 2009; Roy 2010)” -page 417
